Land rent is the answer to terrorism

Today's top story is terrorism. The specific case of Bin Laden was discussed earlier: land rent removes the need for war, and so removes the main cause of anti-Americanism. In addition,
  • Historically, most terrorists simply want their own government, and land rent already offers that. 
  • Extremism is usually fuelled by economic injustice, and land rent fixes that as well. 
  • Lone fanatics are in the same situation as criminals - they rely on secrecy - and land rent makes most crime impossible because when people choose their own government they cooperate with the authorities. 
Basically, land rent drains the swamp that breeds terrorism.
